Aw Friday, my long lost friend.  It is so good to see you again. A Friday and a good hair day. Wow. You don't get to see those often.  I am wearing my Xmas party dress from last year today.  It was just a standard Xmas party dress, long sleeved, midi dress black with gold stitching all over it but looks so well with this black jumper over it and I am wearing black ankle boots with it.  Boots that I usually can't wear to work as I think they are too casual but with this outfit they work so well! Proud of this one.  I mean how often do you get to wear your Xmas party dress again?? Never! But no one would know that it's a Xmas dress! Well apart from you lovely folk reading this.

Last night I took part in the Cruise Autumn/Winter catwalk showcase.  One of those mad dashes from work to Victoria Square shopping centre and into the Cruise shop.  The reason for my good hair day is because I am a minger and didn't wash my hair last night after the catwalk and thus I have lovely waves left in my hair by the magic hands of the Bellaire girls.  Bellaire is a gorgeous hair and beauty salon in the centre of Belfast.  They do everything and anything.  You name it, hair, nails, tan, teeth whitening, skin. The list is endless. Check them out: Bellaire Hair & Beauty Salon  I was lusting after owner Carly Bell's red trouser suit.  She looked amazing in it.  The hair was loose curls with a natural make up look with a pop of red berry colour on the lips.  Carly tried a new foundation on me by Guerlain. It made my skin look amazing! I'm still just using L'Oreal CC cream at the minute but I would definitely buy it for when I wanted a heavier base.

As it was Cruise, you know the clothes wouldn't disappoint.  Cruise stock all the top designer makes: Victoria Beckham, Pinko, DVF, Gucci, Jimmy Choo. It is one of those catwalks were I am scared to move once the clothes are on me incase I get them dirty or rip them.  Needless to say the looks were gorgeous.  Leopard prints, trouser suits and knit dresses all graced the catwalk. They are lucky my control has improved over this year as I would have happily walked out the door with one of the handbags.

It was a lovely night to catch up with my Aca girls.  Notice the small one in the photo! And I think I was standing on my tip toes!!!! One catwalk down, one more to go and a photo-shoot this weekend too! And I've a new housemate moving in and I have to paint the house and get the hole in the ceiling fixed and get the cracked window fixed and we start selling again this week and I have to see my boyfriend and see my family and do the food shopping.  Standard weekend for me. *sigh* I need another holiday.
